About Me

I have extensive education in web development and design. Over the past seven years, I have refined my skills in (X)HTML, CSS, PHP, database design, bash scripting, MySQL administration and Unix/Linux administration.

I graduated from Pennridge High School in 1999 and have attended Bucks and Montgomery county community colleges. My development studio is in Perkasie, Bucks County, Pennsylvania.

I take great care in making sure all sites I code are standards-compliant so that they are accessible to the widest audience. But don't just take my word for it, please follow the links below to validate each page on this site.

Highlighted Services

The services that Ferdog Web Consulting offers are:

  • Web Design using XHTML, CSS and Javascript

    • These three technologies form your complete website. XHTML provides the structure. CSS provides the look and styling of the XHTML. Javascript adds user-interactivity to your site by adding rollovers, mouseovers and form validation, to name just a few.

  • Graphic Design using Photoshop

    • No website is complete without some graphics. Good graphic design can be the difference between a dull looking site that discourages visitors and a site that attracts them with clean, well-designed and thought-out placement of high quality graphics.

  • Web Typography Optimization

    • One of the most overlooked aspects of web design is typography. Just think of the number of websites that you've visited that were unreadable due to poor font choice or text size. It would be a waste of time and effort if your message is unreadable to your audience.

  • PHP Development

    • To add even more dynamic elements to your website, you will need some server-side technology. PHP is the most widely used and supported server-side language available. From shopping carts to photo galleries and database-driven applications, PHP will add depth to your site beyond the visuals.

  • MySQL Database Design

    • Databases are essential for any business to store information for future analyses. A well-designed database can enhance efficiency by allowing easy access to important data. MySQL is the most widely used database server in existence. It is extremely fast and easy to work with, so no matter how large your database becomes, MySQL will handle it well.

  • SEO - Search Engine Optimization

    • Search Engine Optimization, or SEO for short, is what every website owner struggles to achieve. Top placement on any search engine (especially Google) can dramatically increase traffic, and therefore profitability of your site. SEO can be achieved by the combination of good design, unique content and keyword placement, as well as being linked to by other high-quality sites that also follow these guidelines.

  • Web Content Creation

    • Get your point across with a well-designed, well-written website. Words are always important, whether you are selling face-to-face, over the phone, or on the World Wide Web.
